Chapter 132: Also trapped Yan Xingzhou for three…

Shen Nanyang’s current state was clearly on the verge of collapse at any moment. Gu Beiqiu took this opportunity to take him to the medical room to adjust.

As the door of the room closed, the harmonious and cheerful atmosphere from before the two had arrived vanished in an instant.

[No, your attitude isn’t right now, is it?]

[Are you, in front of me, going to agree to that professor dismantling my crystal core?]

[Lin Xi, I’m telling you clearly, don’t even think about it! With our current inseparable relationship, dismantling my crystal core is no different from dismantling your own body. You won’t be able to bear it!]

[Hey hey hey hey, are you listening to me?]

“I hear you. Shut up.” This time, Lin Xi’s reply was not in his mind, making his words sound more like an unfounded monologue.

As his words fell, he could feel Yan Xingzhou looking at him.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely subtle, and a brief silence fell.

The two had a tacit understanding.

The conversation with Calamity was just something Lin Xi had deliberately let Yan Xingzhou hear. It was a reminder—a reminder to this man of the objective fact that this special-grade contaminant always existed within his body.

Yan Xingzhou stared fixedly at Lin Xi, a deep light flickering in his eyes. It was still the same sentence, “I won’t let you cooperate with Shen Nanyang.”

“Turning your back on me like this doesn’t seem very good, does it?” Lin Xi met Yan Xingzhou’s gaze with a half-smile. “When you were all lovey-dovey with me in bed a few days ago, you didn’t seem to say that. Your exact words at that time were that you would listen to me no matter what and welcome the zero point one per mil future with me.”

“…”

Yan Xingzhou replied, “I regret it.”

Lin Xi let out a light sneer. “Shameless even when you’re in the wrong?”

Yan Xingzhou: “Yes.”

Lin Xi was so angry he laughed. “President Yan, since when did you become so unreasonable? You were the one who said you wanted to be the good gun in my hand, and now you’re the one who is unreasonably and stubbornly refusing.”

He leaned down and bit Yan Xingzhou’s lower lip. “We already made it very clear before. If this were the business world, you’d have to pay a huge price for backing out like this, hmm?”

Yan Xingzhou let the faint taste of blood spread in his mouth. His lowered eyes were still deep. “No matter how great the price, I am willing to bear it.”

Lin Xi’s movements finally paused just inches away, their breaths silently mingling. “Can I interpret this as you being afraid? Do you think I can’t take responsibility for my own choices? Yan Xingzhou, you…”

The scene before him spun, and in an instant, Lin Xi was pressed onto the bed.

Directly above him was Yan Xingzhou’s scattered hair. The deep black intertwined with the vibrant red, backlit, making it impossible to see his specific expression.

Lin Xi could only feel the fingers pressed on his wrist gradually curling, so tight it hurt a little.

“I never disbelieved you. I just… don’t believe in myself.”

Yan Xingzhou’s voice came from above, each word so hoarse it seemed squeezed from his throat. Lin Xi was slightly stunned, and the usual casual expression on his face gradually faded.

He listened quietly as Yan Xingzhou continued, word by word. In the silence, the contamination radiation of their abilities and fluctuations intertwined. As if reflecting the owner’s intentions, with the uncontrollable emotions, “Concretization” was triggered by subconscious instinct, as if countless familiar scenes were appearing in the pale, empty isolation room.

The constantly changing scenes were undoubtedly a reflection of Yan Xingzhou’s memories. The hoarse voice became the only background sound. “I still remember the feeling of receiving the news that day. During those three years, I asked myself almost every day, if I hadn’t been so easily transferred away, if I had noticed the text message Shen Nanyang sent you in my name in advance, would everything have been different?”

“Lin Xi,” Yan Xingzhou said in a deep voice. “I cannot allow myself to make another wrong choice. I can bear any price, except for this one, so…”

A hand suddenly reached out and pulled Yan Xingzhou over. Then, the collar of his shirt was ripped open, and at the same time, a dense and familiar contamination radiation enveloped him.

With a dizzying spin, a passionate kiss landed hotly.

It was as if he desperately wanted to completely envelop him with his own scent. The two bodies, pressed tightly together, were instantly covered in a thick sweat. Their chests heaved with their rapid breathing. The surrounding concretized scenes, changing so quickly, almost turned into splendid phantoms, and then, amidst the intertwining of radiation and ability tentacles, they all shattered.

In the dim light and shadow, the overly fierce kiss brought a clear taste of blood. Both of their lips were broken, and for a moment, it was impossible to tell whose scent remained.

Rip—!

Yan Xingzhou felt Lin Xi’s movement. Panting, he pressed down on the extremely restless hand below. “You… what are you doing… at this time?”

What responded to him was another deep kiss from Lin Xi, silencing his words. His hand’s actions not only did not restrain but became even more intense.

A low sob was squeezed from Yan Xingzhou’s throat. His Adam’s apple rolled continuously. The ability tentacles surging around him became even more chaotically immersed in the dense contamination radiation.

[Aaaah, so sudden again?]

[Don’t move! I’ve covered my own eyes! I’m not looking at anything, don’t you dare knock me out!]

As if not hearing this inopportune voice, Lin Xi remained silent.

He kissed his way down from Yan Xingzhou’s lips, bit by bit. Neck, collarbone, and then further down. Their tightly pressed bodies could clearly feel the other’s trembling.

But it wasn’t enough.

The sense of reality this moment brought was still not enough for him.

Was it because of the influence of the contaminant’s body? Lin Xi could clearly feel that his human emotions were becoming more and more numb after this return.

But even so, Yan Xingzhou’s words just now still made him feel that something had been deeply stabbed into his heart.

Yes, he should have realized it when he saw Yan Xingzhou lose control in the special-grade contamination zone. Or rather, he had already realized it when he saw another version of himself in Yan Xingzhou’s villa, but he had been avoiding it all along.

He thought that not mentioning the three years of nourishing flesh and blood in a chaotic consciousness was the most correct choice for both of them, but he had forgotten—this was also the three years that had trapped Yan Xingzhou.

The color in Lin Xi’s eyes deepened, and the depths of his different-colored pupils were even colder. Only the movements of his hands became more urgent.

He intermittently ground against Yan Xingzhou’s ear, the breath he exhaled also filled with restrained emotion.

In the silence, he felt Yan Xingzhou’s equally suppressed response.

A broad palm gripped his waist tightly. Gradually, the room was filled with the sound of heavy breathing.

Until his slightly raised neck drew a delicate and perfect arc. At the moment of reaching the limit, the ability fluctuations and contamination radiation completely merged into one. At the moment of explosion, only a shared rough gasp remained.

The monitoring equipment in the room seemed to move in unison. With the excessively elevated values, they continuously emitted “beep beep beep” alarm sounds.

Two disheveled figures were pressed tightly together on the bed. In a short time, they were literally a mess, but after this release, they had clearly calmed down.

Lin Xi stared at Yan Xingzhou without blinking, an unreadable expression in his eyes. “Do you feel it? I am alive now.”

His fingertips embedded themselves in Yan Xingzhou’s hair, playing with it nonchalantly. It seemed casual, but every word seemed to strike deep into the heart. “My fingers are still moving, my chest still has a heartbeat, and I can still let you feel my breath… I am alive now, but if I lose you, that’s not so certain.”

Yan Xingzhou listened to these words in silence, his eyes as if shrouded in a layer of extremely deep fog.

“Yan Xingzhou, you should… not want me to have the three years you went through, right?”

Lin Xi’s calm voice fell into his ears. Yan Xingzhou could not give a direct response.

But instinctively, his body still tensed up in an instant. His intertwined fingertips subconsciously gripped Lin Xi’s wrist. Finally, he closed his eyes. “Do you have to do this?”

Lin Xi lowered his eyes and met Yan Xingzhou’s gaze. “You can think I’m overconfident, or you can think I’m just going crazy, but I can tell you clearly, if your ability’s loss of control isn’t resolved, I’m not sure if I’ll do something out of control like you did back then… You know what I’m like when I go crazy. That’s far more uncontrollable than you. And after going crazy enough, at worst, we can just die together for love.”

Yan Xingzhou: “…”

Lin Xi, as if not noticing his tightly furrowed brow, continuously kissed those dry lips, tasting the lingering metallic taste of blood on them. “Yan Xingzhou, actually, you and I both know very well that our future has always had only one path, and it lies in that one-in-a-thousand that Shen Nanyang spoke of.”

“I promise you, this time, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely return to your side.”

Following the line of his lips, Lin Xi kissed his way up Yan Xingzhou’s brow and eyes, finally leaving a promise-like kiss on his forehead. “And even if I really run into some trouble, I believe you will come find me and bring me back, right?”

Their eyes met, followed by a long silence.

Although no words were spoken, in those ten-odd seconds, it seemed as if a thousand words had been exchanged.

Lin Xi was gradually enveloped in a broad embrace.

Yan Xingzhou’s chest vibrated slightly twice, and finally, an “Mhm” was squeezed from his throat.

The low voice, rather than being for Lin Xi to hear, was more like it was said to himself. “Right or wrong, I will make all subsequent choices the correct ones.”

At any cost.
